I do not own any part of pokemon. It is owned by REALLY rich people who don't realize that the series has been going on for a couple of years, and that the characters are still the same age.
Chapter 10. Written especially for those people who actually bother to read my stories. I'm finally back, and I had this chapter written already, but I forgot to post it before I left. Stupid me...I know the last chapter had very little to do with the main storyline, but I thought you guys needed a break from all the suspense. Read & Review plz.

Ash's spirits were somewhat lifted. He arrived at the hotel near Pallet where he usually stayed. He had about 10 grand in his pocket. Walking through the streets in darkness was not the smartest thing one could do, but Ash felt sorry for anybody that tried to assault him. REALLY sorry. He passed by a bum on the street, and felt sorry for him. He put his hand into his pocket, and prepared 2 100 dollar bills to give to the old man. As he was taking out his hand to drop them in the old man's lap, he felt something grab his foot. He looked down. The old man was gone. Instead, there was a black substance of some sort around his foot keeping him stuck there.
" Ugh. What the..." he was suddenly knocked down. He looked up to see his assailant. It was one of the men from Denk. One of the ones that had been protecting the girl.
" Kill him. Make him pay for his crimes." A female voice said from somewhere nearby.
Ash qickly took his chance. He kicked the one that had tackled him, only to discover that his foot passed right through. He looked in shock.
" Astral Projection. you can't touch them, but they can touch you." the female voice said smugly.
Ash pretended he was going to kick him again, but instead he just threw himself to his feet.
" What? How did you do that?" The female asked enraged. Ash gasped when he saw her face. It was the girl from the village...but older. She was probably about his age.. It was her exact face, but now he could see something else in her face. a resemblance to someone he had seen a long time ago. That face was so familiar. Ash awoke from his contemplations in time to block a punch from one of the men. He counted them. 1..2...3...4...5..6...9. They all seemed to be Astral projections except the girl. But he couldn't get near her. He released his Pichu.
" Pichu. Electric cage." the small pokemon shut its eyes. Lighting began to rain down from the heavens on every side until the girl was in a cage of lighting bolts. As a lighting bolt started to wear out, another came down and replaced in. Suddenly there was a flash of blue light. The men had all disappeared, but the girl remained where she was.
" Ash, you traitor, let me go." she said quietly.
" Who are you. How do you know me?"
" Just let me go Ash, I don't think you want the truth."
" I do, actually. I'll let you out, but you tell me everything. What do you know about my father and Denk."
" I know that you father was piece of crap. A traitor that slaughtered my people. Do you want more Ashy? Wan't to know what happened to your sister?"
" Lianna..." Ash began. "Lianna is dead. She died as a baby."
" No, she didn't. You know she didn't. You have some memories of you guys playing as kids, so she obvioulsy didn't die as a baby. You KNOW what happened to her. Your father...sold her!" Amita, the girl, said disgusted. " He sold her to the immortals. They made her fight like a dog. And once when she was too wounded to fight, they just left her there. They didn't care to take her back to their hiding place. MY people picked her up and helped her heal. I remember her so well. I felt sorry for her when she told me her story. She talked so fondly of you. You were her baby. Her little brother whom she loved so much. The one who would put a stop to your father's rampage. You'd fight against the immortals and defeat them. She would be disappointed to know that you chose her father's side. Good thing she had already disappeared when your father declared to the immortals that you were to fight with them. She would have died of dispair."
" I am not fighting with the immortals. I..."
" So you admit it. You KNEW that what your parents told you when you were little was a lie. And as for fighting for the immortals, I can't believe you. Just like your father. He tried to pretend her was on our side! And then he backstabbed you. Hear me, Ash Ketchum! You are just like your father, and you will NEVER accomplish anything!"
" I am NOTHING like my father!" Ash yelled, suddenly charging towards her with such strength and speed that it seemed impossible. The rage had come over him so quickly that he had totally lost his senses. Fortunately, the electric cage was still going. Ash crashed against it with such force, that he was thrown back a few feet.
The cage desintegrated, and Amita walked out calmly. She walked over to the unconsious Ash.
" I'm sorry, Ashy. I'm sorry. I really didn't want to." she said, walking away calmly.

In Ash's unconsious state, a memory came. Somewhat blurry at first, but then it started to clear up.
MEMORY
" I understand. But he is too young, and"
" He was promised to Rebels to show that you were on their side so they wouldn't suspect you were fighting for our side. We know." The tallest one finished his sentence. " But the revels have been misguided. They don't understand that Denk belongs to us, and that the people are intruders in our world. You want your son the do what's right, don't you, Magnus?"
" Of course I do."
" Daddy, what are you talking about?"
" Your Destiny, Son."
Ash looked confused at that. He looked over to the right, sensing someone was watching him. He spotted a little girl about his size behind a rock. He smiled and ran over to him without being noticed by his dad or the others. The girl looked at him a little frightened.
" Hi. I'm Ash! I want to train pokemon!" He said as an introduction.
" I'm Amita. Your...name is...Ash?"
" Yeah. I love squirtles, charmanders, and bulbasaurs to! Maybe some day I'll have Pikachu too, but I doubt it."
" Are you Lianna's brother? Are you that Ash?"
" Lianna? You know my sister? Have you seen her?"
" Yes. Haven't you?"
" No. she died when she was a baby. But my daddy told me she was my big sister. She would have been 12 this month. But I still dream she's alive and that I'm playing with her."
" Your sister's not..." she was interrupted.
" Ash? Where are you?" his father called out.
" I got to go. See you later." Ash said running from behind the rock and to his father.
END MEMORY
Ash finally woke up about an hour later. All those years... he had believed his father and his mother. His mother had lied to him.
